There's a saying in life that those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
For the second time in just over a decade the Labor Party in South Australia has outgunned the Liberals in negotiations to form a minority government.
Independent Geoff Brock has agreed to back Labor after the March 15 poll delivered a hung parliament.
Before his announcement Mr Lewis had been expected to back the incumbent Liberal government.
From all reports, the Liberals had expected him to side with them as well and were caught flat-footed by his apparent backflip.
But Labor's success in securing his support may also be viewed as another example of how good the party has become at the art of backroom politics.
Perhaps the Liberals need to take notice.
Labor trumps Libs on backroom politics
